M30USA Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 The concept of angels has gone through many changes throughout history. Most religions believe in angels. And angels show up in all kinds of fiction and entertainment. But what do you know specifically about the Bible's records of angels? Let's test your knowledge! I'm going to post a series of multiple choice questions. My goal here is not to impose my beliefs on anyone or prove I'm right. It's merely to clarify what the Bible, specifically, say about them. So here we go! QUESTION #1 While angels in the Bible have taken on several forms when appearing physically/visibly, what is the most common form? a) Flame of fire b) Bright light c) Beautiful creature w/ wings d) Human e) Reptile-like
Author M30USA Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 I thought you said they were all aliens ??? Aliens in the sense of Hollywood movies don't exist. Aliens are angels. The more you research the two and sift through the fiction the more you realize they are the same. 1
Author M30USA Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Same = non-existant. Buddy..please read the OP. The purpose of this is not to debate whether they are real or not, but rather to do trivia about biblical angels. Please stop harassing like usual. Thanks.
Author M30USA Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) The answer is: C Angels in the Bible appear most commonly as human. (They can even walk through a city and evidently not even be recognized--such as in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis.) Edited July 29, 2012 by M30USA 1
NXS Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 The answer is: C Angels in the Bible appear most commonly as human. You mean D.
Author M30USA Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 You mean D. LOL, yeah! D Good thing I'm not a teacher!
NXS Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I'm curious where you're getting your theories from, I read Chariots of the Gods years ago and also read some of David Icke and Michael Tsarions stuff.

I do have theories. But what I'm asking on this particular thread is strictly from the Bible without any other sources.
Author M30USA Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 QUESTION #2 Angels in the Bible have done all of the following except: a) Become a king of Babylon b) Parted the Red Sea c) Crumbled the walls of Jericho d) Been lusted after by homosexuals e) Eaten bread
pureinheart Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 LOL, yeah! D Good thing I'm not a teacher! In reading the replies to the thread, I saw "C" and thought, oh man, I got that one wrong...then saw "D"...yeah! Question #2..."A"
Author M30USA Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Okay, that's one guess submitted for question #2. Any others?
Author M30USA Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Q2: E ... because they have no need for food Okay, cool. Any other guesses? I like to have at least 3 guesses before I give the answer.
TheFinalWord Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 a) Become a king of Babylon b) Parted the Red Sea c) Crumbled the walls of Jericho d) Been lusted after by homosexuals e) Eaten bread I'll say C, A) Isaiah unless I'm thinking of something else; some people think chapter 14 is about satan B) Pillar of fire C) No D) Sodom and Gomorrah E) Abram

The answer I have is: A a) I've never heard that interpretation regarding Chapter 14 -- tell me about it please. b) Pillar of fire by night, pillar of cloud by day -- correct c) Read right before Joshua's armies march around Jericho. He encounters a "man" who identified himself as "commander of the Lord's army". This was an angelic visitation. d) Sodom and Gomorrah -- correct e) Abraham's wife baked bread for 3 angels -- correct The previous poster mentioned that angels don't need food. This may or may not be true. But we know they certainly are able to eat food. In fact, the term "manna" in the Book of Psalms is referred to as "the food of the angels". This implies the angels eat this food and, at least on this one occasion, shared it with humans. Fascinating. 1
Author M30USA Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 QUESTION #3 All of the following are names (or descriptions) given to angels in the Bible except: a) "angels of the Lord" b) "divine counsel" c) "men" d) "stars" e) "sons of God"

This implies the angels eat this food and, at least on this one occasion, shared it with humans. Fascinating. Maybe I'm being picky, but did the angel actually crumble the wall? I thought He just appeared (many think this was Jesus) but didn't actually crumble the wall... For Isaiah 14, I thought maybe you were connecting the King of Babylon with Lucifer 4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. 9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! What do you think?
Author M30USA Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Hmmm...I guess I should have specified by saying physical king. You might be right otherwise. As for the "commander of the Lord's army", from what I've read this was probably Michael the Archangel. We know Michael is the head general of the warring angels.

pureinheart Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 QUESTION #3 All of the following are names (or descriptions) given to angels in the Bible except: a) "angels of the Lord" b) "divine counsel" c) "men" d) "stars" e) "sons of God" I'm gonna say "C", but that is most likely wrong...M30, this was a hard question.
Author M30USA Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah, this is a hard one. Keep the guesses rolling. Minimum of 3 guesses before I tell the answer.
Emilia Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 e) 'sons of God' because there was only one son of god Well, I'm an atheist but according to the fairy tales I mean there was only one son of god
